Major Fellowships
Gilman International Scholarship Program
The Gilman International Scholarship Program offers grants for Pell Grant eligible undergraduates to pursue study abroad. The Gilman Scholarship Program broadens the student population that studies abroad by supporting undergraduates who might not otherwise participate due to financial constraints. The program encourages students to choose non-traditional study abroad destinations, especially those outside of Western Europe and Australia. The Gilman Scholarship Program aims to support students who have been traditionally under-represented in study abroad, including but not limited to, students with high financial need, community college students, students in under-represented fields such as the sciences and engineering, students with diverse ethnic backgrounds, and students with disabilities. Applicants must be U.S. Citizens or permanent residents in the process of becoming citizens. Interested students should make an appointment to discuss their application ideally at least two weeks before the national deadline.
